You make it look easy. I'm getting ready to order more pens but I think I'll just get the replaceable tip pen and the wire to make my own. I already have the tools I need. Then I'll watch your video again. Thanks for the instructions. You may have just changed the way I burn.
Christine Hunter Thank you so much. It is easy. Just be careful not to hurt your finges because I pierced one in the making of this tip at the very end.
Bend your measured length of nichrome wire and fit in pyro pen holder. Find a drill bit or rod of metal with the same diameter as the gap of the two wires in the terminal and then using a pair of pliers squeeze the tip so there is about 7mm length where the wiers touch. Remove the spacing tool. Apply power - adjust if able to have the wire with a faint red or a blood red colour. Start peening (tapping) the tip to flatten and get the spoon shape you require, you may need to occasionally squeeze the tip together as the spoon shape appears. Don't flex the tip as shown in the example - it weakens it.
👋 Wow, couldn't be easier. Also sets my mind to other creative tips. Cool thanks always learn way more watching your videos. 👏👏👏👍👍👍. Thanks. Your videos are awesome 👍👏👍👏❤❤❤👋
Thank you so much. It would be a good idea but it would require materials that I don't have. Maybe this version is more accessible for everybody. However I think you're right, It would be easier to mold and maybe the result would be more fine.
@@richypyrography: I saw video and I like so much, thx. I´m just beginning, I don´t know, I´ve talent or not ;-) You said, you don´t have tools for heating before forming, so I think, maybe to use a heating-pistol, but I´m not sure, it will be succesfull.

Hi Frank. Thank you so much. If you have the tools to do it, go ahead. Please be careful. If you're not sure get advice or help from someone with experience. Good luck and let me know how it go.
Great video. I'm going to made my own selfmade woodburning pen an dimmer. my output voltage is 12 or less and 3 amp.is it enoph for pyrography ? is that normaly wire or different matterial? such as Nichrome? ( sorry for bad english)
Hi Hamid. I think this is nickel-chromium wire. You have to buy it in a pyrography supply store to be sure. You have machines that work with 120V and others that work with 220V/230V. You must check the voltage you have in your country before buying one. If you have 220V and you buy a machine from the US or Canada you'll burn it. Hope this helps.
The ball point tip is a different process. It must be soldered and the ideal is that the material is the same - Nichrome I have never tried to do that one.

Up to 7 or 8 amps, would be the upper limit, remember the ac output voltage will normally be below 3 volts. If making your own unit, the secondary winding only needs about 7 to 10 turns. If you lay 5 turns and then tap every 2nd turn you will be able to get a useful range. Cheers from Don.
No, you cannot. Use only Nichrome wire to do this. It's an alloy of nickel and chromium. The difference is that this material has a high electrical resistance and produces heat that way, while copper and brass are good conductive metal. Do not work with this kind of burning system. Also Nichrome does not oxidise when heated.
Hola, I think this is nickel-chromium wire. You sugest that you buy it in a pyrography supply store to be sure. Here I used this one: www.woodworkscraftsupplies.co.uk/very-heavy-duty-gauge-wire-gauge-p-679.html
@@manikpatra8398 yes. The power of the machine that feeds the pen is 220V AC. I don't know what voltage you have. It can be 110V. Please be careful. If you are not sure please try to gather all that information.
Thank you, for your repply. Thank you so much. I hope, that also video give me about pyrography pen. With my love. God bless you.----manik patra. In India.
Maximum 3 volts ac. Try getting someone who knows how to put a light dimmer to control the output ac voltage of your pyrography unit if it does not already have a variable control - 1.5 v ac to 2.5 v ac is the normal supply range for .5mm to .9mm thickness nichrome wire. If you have an old heater element that has a ceramic rod with the nichrome wire as the heating element try that for thin wire nibs. A request for those who did not UNDERSTAND the questions DONT try to answer.
Hi Tom. No, I don't heat the wire. Plugging it to the machine is dangerous. You can miss the right place with the hammer and damage the pen. I've had these tips for years and none of them broke.
@@richypyrography Thank you for replying Richy. I `ve tried the "no" heat method, and of course you do still end up with a decent Tip of course ,but I`ve found that the heat method does get the job done easier & quicker ,not that quickness is absolutely necessary, but for medical reasons with my hands ,I find personally quickness is more advantageous for me. I understand where your coming from with your comment however ,I got around that by using a cheap Chinese Pen and use that to hold the Tip while applying the heat , but I`ve not had any mishaps with accidental hitting of the pen up to now touch wood. .. I suppose Its all a case of being careful and being precise in what your doing if using heat method. But Both methods work of course. So thanks for taking the trouble to show your method as it gives people a choice to see which they might prefer..
Tom, I agree that heating the metal is the right method, of course. It causes less stress on the metal and it's easier and quicker, as you said, to get a good result. But this one also works and may be safer to do. Thank you so much for watching the video and for your comment and information. Have fun.
Hi Manik. That tip requires more work and tools. You would need to weld a ball at the end of the tip and would need a Nichrome ball for that. I don't know how to do it or where to get that type of material. I'm sorry.
@@richypyrography thank you for your advice. Thank you so much. With my love. I'm very glad for your work , Your video .I hope mor video gift me about it.

I make anatomical custom grips for target shooters. Thank you for your attention and,good luck!
Olá Emanuel. Para ser sincero, eu já fiz essa experiência. O que aconteceu foi que deitou bastante fumo, ficou negro e não aqueceu. Não aconselho. O cobre é bastante bom como condutor de energia mas oxida e não funciona para aquecer porque liberta gases tóxicos e não tem a resistência do níquel crómio. No entanto confesso que não entendo muito de metais. Peço-lhe que não experimente, pelo menos, sem falar com alguém entendido. Muito obrigado pelo comentário.
Emanuel, já sei mais informações sobre os fios. Fios de cobre e latão são condutores. Funcionam bem nas máquinas do género "ferro de soldar" porque o calor é conduzido para a ponta e estes metais são bons condutores, então funciona. Com este tipo de máquinas o aquecimento funciona com a passagem da corrente elétrica e o aquecimento resulta precisamente da resistência a essa passagem. O níquel crômio é uma liga, como o nome indica, que é altamente resistente à corrente, não oxida e funciona. Espero ter ajudado.

Try putting the wire in the pen, heat it up while using the hammer to flatten the wire. Faster and less stress on the wire.
Don't hit the pen...

To make one tip with a ball in the point. The ball must be the same wire material? I got a metal ball but dont know if will work

What solder are you using to attach the wire tip to the replaceable pen end?
Hi John. The tip will be screwed to the pen.
Okay, thank you. I have a Colwood and the pen tips need to be soldered to the removable end piece. Must be silver solder they do it with.

Hi Mophead this is nickel-chromium wire. 1 mm.
What is metal for spoon shader (nichrom or iron)? Please reply me.
You'll need Nichrome wire which is an alloy that consists of 80 percent nickel and 20 percent chromium.
